Scarred For Life EP, released on Lost And Found in 1994, demonstrated Ignite's strident approach, with vocals shared between Joe Nelson and Randy Johnson. However, it was not until the arrival of Teglas later in that year that the band's distinctive style began to develop. The In My Time EP was a step forward, and after several further releases, Call On My Brothers was a collection of tight, memorable songs underpinned by Teglas' outstanding voice. Ignite's popularity had grown considerably in Europe and North America by this point, and the Past Our Means EP should have been their transfer to the big league. Progress was stifled when Jones left the band in 1997 while on tour. He was replaced by Craig Anderson, but another line-up change ensued shortly afterwards when Foster was replaced by Brian Balchack. A Place Called Home was an excellent release proving that, despite the changes in line-up, Ignite had lost none of its fury. There was also a nod to Teglas' heritage, with a version of the title track delivered in Hungarian."> finetune artist: Ignite (Punk)
